Who said I agreed with it? You people crack me up! Congress has the lowest approval rating EVER, in the history of this country. The politicians
continually demonstrate that they have no regard for us peasants. How long did you think that people would just sit back and take up the keister
before someone decided that it was time to "Off" a few of them. Jeeesh! I mean, haven't you been paying attention?

I have and fully expected to start seeing this kind of crap. Alas, it HAS begun! Not that I agree with it...

Mexican drug cartel is a very valid maybe!

The drug cartels can get people of any age hooked and turned into a monster for their cause...

Or hold their family hostage on terms of them carrying out the crime..

If it was anything to do with a drug cartel, they couldn't have picked a worse target.

Not only was she a US Representative in Congress, but she is also the wife of the mission commander for STS 134, the final planned mission of the
space shuttle program, and sister in law of her husband's twin brother who is also an astronaut.

If a drug cartel is behind this, they are going to be cold dead meat very soon.

Is he middle eastern?
What is his religion?
They love to recruit young people to do their dirty work.
And the fact that he got 6 people with a handgun in short order means that he was probably trained.

I haven’t seen pictures of him yet.

If they hold back pictures of him for an unusual amount of time, I will start contemplating that possibility very much.

Gabrielle Giffords was known as a strong proponent of solar energy as well as for her work to secure the border with Mexico.

Giffords also voted to repeal subsidies to big oil companies and invest the savings in renewable energy. "We put our national security at risk by
relying on oil from unstable regimes in the Middle East and Latin America," Giffords told her colleagues in a speech on the House floor during debate
on the Clean Energy Act. The act repeals $14 billion in subsidies given to oil companies and establishes a Strategic Renewable Energy Reserve to
increase research in clean renewable energy, to develop greater energy efficiency, and to improve energy conservation.

There was a certain motive in the shootings.
Anyone, any info whether she's in favor or against raising US debt ceiling?
Did she has facebook or twitter account, linking to the recent subpoena?

David Fitzsimmons just reported on CNN that AZ is a gun happy state. The rhetoric has begun. This may not be the appropriate time to bring this up,
but guns and border control will be next on the political agenda. Restrictions will be implemented at a very fast pace I'm afraid.

Very sad - I wonder what the gunman said. Also someone must have had a camera - suppose that would come along later. Sure hate to year about the
kid, that is really sad and all the others that were injured and killed. I would lean toward the Mexican cartel or an unstable youth with a gun that
wanted to have an exciting day.

The shooting occurred at a Safeway supermarket in northwest Tucson as Ms. Giffords hosted an event, called “Congress on Your Corner, to allow
members of the 8th Congressional District to meet her individually. She has held several events since first taking office in January 2007. At one such
event in 2009, a protester was removed by police when his pistol fell on the supermarket floor.

Last March, her Tucson office was vandalized a few hours after the House vote overhauling the nation’s health care system, the authorities said.
Earlier events in Tucson, Oro Valley, Green Valley, Sierra Vista, and Douglas had attracted between 75 and 150 people, according to a statement
announcing the event. This was her first event since her re-election to a third term in November.

Its completly stupid and insane to go and shoot reps when they work for you, if you don't agree with a law, your not going to change it by shooting
the very people that can help you change it. Here you have a rep who is willing to talk to the people, explain things and how they work and get
opinions, and she gets shot. Everyone should be condemning this attack, it's the very polar opposite of democracy and the peoples wishes for the
direction of our country.
